Buried in the back of the freezer, I found 2lbs of sausagemeat, clearly left over from the festering season, and never used. I’m diabetic, and shouldn’t really eat sausage rolls, so I poddled up to the butcher and bought 300g of lean minced beef, and on Sunday we had a meatball cook-in. Italian: Pete manfully…

meatballs in tomato sauce
In the freezer was a pound of sausagemeat, and pound of pork mince, both left over from Christmas. I fetched them out last night, with the intention of making some meatballs, but when I came to think about it, I decided they needed some beef mince too, so we hurtled over to Aldi (15 minutes…

pasta with meatballs and courgettes
Using up: sausagemeat Apologies for the lack of posting – Pete and I have been laid low from the lurgy, and very little has been happening in the cooking department. We made the last of the goose into a risotto, and then we had macaroni cheese on Wednesday – one of the best comfort foods…
from veg to meatballs to pasta bake
Using up: veg As stated last week, we are over-vegged, and need to use it up before we go away for the long weekend that’s coming up. So, on Friday night, I chopped up four red peppers, two onions, several mushrooms, and four (I think) courgettes. These were sautéd down in my huge shallow Circulon…
